Set "default" domain on CTRL+ALT+DEL login screen

[58sniper]

We have some clients that have multiple domains. We'd like to set what it's defaulting to during some migrations. Is that possible? I've been googling this in every direction, and can't seem to come up with anything.

Hi Pat, you need to create a new registry key.
